Listeria concerns have prompted one of Western Canada's leading organic food distributors to recall Stahlbush Island Farms-branded Cut Green Beans from the marketplace.

In a release, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said the move from Horizon Distributors was prompted by a recall in the U.S.

"There have been no reported illnesses in Canada associated with the consumption of this product, however, there have been reported illnesses in the United States linked to consuming products manufactured or processed by the same supplier, CRF Frozen Foods," the agency said.

The products were previously distributed at the retail level in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Possibly National, Saskatchewan and Yukon.

The product carried the codes 16034001, 15097001, 14328001, 15362001 and 14310002.
